MARSHFIELD — The University of Wisconsin-Marshfield/Wood County men’s basketball team held off a late surge to beat UW-Baraboo/Sauk County 66-64 in a Wisconsin Collegiate Conference West Division game Monday night at the Marauder Gym.

The Marauders (3-1 overall, 3-0 WCC West) led 40-29 at halftime but had to sweat out the win in the final minute.

Devin Klein topped the Marauders with 17 points, which included four of the team’s 11 made 3-pointers; Covon Rudolph added 16 points; and Joe Estrict had 14 points, 14 rebounds, and six assists for UW-Marshfield.

Leading by one, the Marauders made a big defensive stop in the final seconds. Estrict made the first of two free throws to put UW-Marshfield up by two and missed the second attempt to allow time to expire.
